Diabetes Update

So I’m still diabetic and I still hate it.  At least a couple of times a week, I forget to take my pills so you know that my subconscious still hasn’t accepted it as fact.

But I’m making pretty good progress.  Since being diagnosed in November, I’ve lost 42 lbs (256lbs to 214lbs) and our Endocrinologist has cut my medication in half.  My blood pressure is about 115/75 and my fasting blood sugar is well within the “normal” range.  My cholesterol is also well within the “normal for diabetic” range.

My weight has plateaued for the past few weeks but I need to increase my physical activity.  So far, the weight loss has been due to 99% diet changes.  I want to get down to 190lbs.

My stress is still sucky but at least I fit my old clothes.
